Pretty sure 6 will be the centrepiece of the Himmelberg tradePick 6 going to Collingwood at this rate for Noble. Rioli maybe late pick swap

I’ve perhaps poorly explained my concerns, it’s about appropriate payment not about bringing in known talent
The Suns have a reputation at the trade table as naive and I think this year is going to be no different. If it comes off and we develop into a contender know one will care, may have to put up with more jibes and snickers until then.
I think it makes most sense for Port to go after Luko.Glad that this means we will hopefully not have to hear from Adelaide supporters again this trade period!
But after watching the finals series, surely the last thing Port needs is another one-way runner who only looks good when the team is already on top. Hardly moves the needle in terms of them getting over their finals hump? Especially when their gameplan is also to just launch the sh*t out of the ball going forward. Will be interested to see how he goes. Hopefully this period will be the kick he needs to put his head down and work.
Matt Rowell our highest scoring Brownlow vote getter by almost double. Is unsigned for 2026For some reason, I am a bit sad Luko leaving. I loved how he read the game and some of his kicks were beautiful.
Sure, academy kids are coming, and he is not the strongest guy in contest, but often Dimma and teammates did not use him properly.
Hopefully, Rowell is not pissed off and re-signs.
Good luck, Luko. You may need it. Pressure in Adelaide will be insane. Luko was a bit whipping boy here. I suspect, it could go another level in Adelaide.
I do have the same concerns but ainsworth is very close with bowes and it didn't put him off committing. Ballard is close with luko and has just re-signed long term. I think players do understand the clubs position and Rowell may now benefit from the moving of his mates salary.Here’s my worry about shipping off Luko - and it’s the same with shipping off Bowes;
They were committed and talented.
It’s not their fault our dumb list manager keeps giving them huge back ended deals.
We want loyalty from players but we’ve started this weird trend of overpaying players and then shoving them out the door.
If I was a player; I’d feel really unsettled by that. Why would I commit to the Suns if they might decide to just ship me off because I wasn’t quite playing my best and the contract they gave me was more than they want to pay me.
He’s also great for our culture, being a part of the really close group we have currently and pushing him out seems like a shit idea.
If I was Rowell I’d be considering if I wanted to stay.
